they blame americans saying the self-seg grough date -- segregation means we want to be around people who think like we do and it kills compromise. and it is reflected in shopping choices. a recent report finds the whole food stores were in counties carried by obama in 2008. while 62% of cracker barrel restaurants were in counties carried by mccain. so like-minded thinkers reinforce each other. and they are more partisan and they have the loudest voices. and lawmakers are reacting on their behalf. and that's why the mess in congress is america's fault. you know who never compromises? >> this is where i am obligated to say that looks horrible and i think it is okay. i really don't mean it. do we really live in a divided country? >> i think we do, and i think there is nothing wrong with that. it is part of liberty. the fact that you can associate with people you want to, i don't see that as a bad thing. it is a reason to increase the federal government and allow states to have more rights and allow people to govern thementzs. -- themselves. people should be able to govern themselves com
